Because you have something in your syslog.conf that says kernel messages are logged to /var/log/firewall?
In my default syslog.conf I had: kern.* /var/log/firewall
I don't know if the lpd thing is a kernel message, though.
From Curtis Rey to SLE about [SLE] Why when I type this - does it tell me
Right Dieter, "kern.* -/var/log/firewall". Would it be possible to change that entry to .....-/var/log/kernal? and will I need to configure for that, like pipes or anything (remember I'm a newbie and this is all new to me! :). TIA Curtis On Friday 08 June 2001 11:33 am, dieter wrote: this?:
Can someone explain why when I type: "tail -f /var/log/firewall"
I prints this?:

I thought It was supposed to tell about the firewall, instead it prints out the nvidia agp page allocation and the lp paper status?
I'm confused. Any comments? TIA Curtis
